Main Beach surfspot characteristics

More about Main Beach surfspot

General: With limited interference from any outside sandbars and/or coquina reefs, which are famous for intercepting or diluting swells in the Sunshine State, Main Beach can offer a legit shorebreak experience at higher tides; which means when it’s good here, it’s a bonanza: lots of waves, most of them hollow and fast and powerful, and the crowds to match. Reeling lefts manifest on the best NE swells, however, Amelia Island beachbreaks in general are exposed to a range of swells from N to S but won't hold more than a couple feet overhead. Tides: High tide, it's a shorebreak Size: Head-high Wind: W Swell: NE-SE Bottom: Sand Paddling: Just duck dive, and you're out there. Spot Rating: Average spot.

Intermediate, beginners get beat up pretty bad.

Pull up, park and paddle.
